Adorable! Good job on getting us so close to the deer. Very nice framing.

Really nice exposure... and as Phrasikleia said, very nice framing. I love that the ears look rim-lit, giving them great accent.

I don't remember seeing it this before... but when I just saw it right now, my first thought was, "wow, this is a cool shot...!" It's very punchy in the colors, which works with this subject, and I like the odd depth of field and fisheye effect...
 
another nifty-fifty leaf thing...

I'm still on my leaf in stream kick with the nifty-fifty, so you might have to bear with a few more before I'm done... ;)

It's still July in New England. Don't know what's happening with this plant, but it isn't autumn just yet, I promise.

Hey Spartan - are any of your subjects aware of your presence and intentions, or is it "wield rangefinder, focus as fast as possible, capture, and retreat?" Just curious, as I find people-on-the-street photography both equally fascinating and challenging.

I try to shoot without disrupting the scene. Once they notice the camera it tends to lean towards street portraits instead of street photography... I am in the prime lens camp, using a 35mm lens so I have to be pretty close in and it is quite a challenge at times. Some people shoot from across the street using telephoto lenses, but it's not as intimate IMHO and loses the emotion.

I used a manual lens here and just zoom focused for 3 meters, walked in close, and shot from the hip. Hope that helps.

As Henri Cartier-Bresson said, "Aim well, shoot fast, and scram!" :)
